HEREFORD GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERATIC SOCIETY

The object of the Society is to educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts, principally the collaborative works of W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts by performance of these works
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
